Gu Pianran, who was in the room, vaguely heard the maids' discussion. She clenched the brush in her hand tightly, her expression filled with gloom. When she picked up the brush again, the orchid painted on the rice paper had already bloomed.
Gu Pianran removed the rice paper on the table and threw it on the ground.
First, the Lei family was against her, and now a woman who came out of nowhere has stolen the limelight.
Qiu Ju hurried into the room, bowed to her mistress, and stood up. "Miss, we've investigated the identity of that person. The woman's surname is Mu, and her given name is Zhi Tao. They are not locals, but are from outside the city who have come to Chang'an to visit relatives. They currently live in the south part of the city."
"South of the city."
Although that place is not as good as theirs, it is still a good place in Chang'an City.
"Do you know what kind of relatives they are looking for?" Gu Pianran asked slowly without stopping her movements.
"I don't know about that. I've already asked my servants to investigate again."
"No need." Gu Pianran waved her hand, motioning her to go out.
As soon as Qiuju left, Gu Pianran said to the empty room, "Aye."
Dark Night heard her call, appeared from the darkness and stood in front of her.
"What do you want?"
Gu Pianran looked at the masked An Ye and whispered, "I want to know the identity of the person who was named by Master Wuchen at the Jokhang Temple with me, and his purpose for coming to Chang'an City."
An Ye naturally knew who she wanted to investigate, and he also knew the identities of Bei Yutang and the others.
"I'm a killer." An Ye replied coldly.
The meaning was very clear. He could ask me to kill people, but this kind of investigation was not his strong point and he would not do it.
Gu Pianran was a little angry in her heart, but she still kept smiling on her face, "It's my fault. I forgot your identity."
She waved her hand and left the room An Ye.
As soon as he left, Gu Pianran's face showed anger.
It seems that what happened last time did not change him.
Lantern Festival
Gu Pianran said to An Ye, "You don't have to follow me tonight."
"I want to protect your safety." An Ye said calmly.
"No need. Just stay home and don't let some thieves take advantage of this day to break into the house and steal."
Dark Night understood.
She was going to meet someone somewhere. Every time she went out to meet that man, she would send him away.
The dark night disappeared from its place.
Before leaving, Gu Pianran instructed Dongmei, "Today is the Lantern Festival. Go prepare some wine and snacks for Ah Ye. Use the wine from the jar in my room. As for the side dishes, I see the kitchen has roasted whole lamb today. Ask them to cut up some lamb legs and bring them over."
Dongmei nodded in agreement.
Gu Pianran got on the carriage and said to Xia He, "You follow me, Dongmei stay."
Xia He said to Gu Pianran, "Miss, why are you so nice to him? In my opinion, he is an ungrateful person who can never be tamed. Look at you, Miss, you are so nice to him, but he is always cold and indifferent."
Gu Pianran chuckled, "You. I'm nice to him, do I have to get something out of him? Okay, don't say these words anymore."
"yes."
Dongmei followed Gu Pianran's instructions, carrying a pot of wine and some side dishes to the stone table. She said to the empty courtyard, "Night Guard, these are the wine and food that the young lady asked me to bring you. Today is the Lantern Festival, and the young lady said that she wanted everyone to celebrate happily. These wine and food are all hot, so please eat them while they are hot. Don't let the young lady down."
